CC Sabathia

[Frayed Knot]

Neither one (Santana or Sabathia) has had any significant injuries to date.
CC is a year yonger but also has more mileage on his arm (about 200 IPs) due to Johan's Rule 5 history which kept him on the back of the bench for a while.
CC signed thru 2015, Johan thru 2013 w/an option for 2014 -- meaning that if the option kicks in the contracts go through the same age.

So any speculation about longevity and injury comes down to usage
- Sabathia logging more innings more often
and if one wants to draw a conclusion about body type.



btw, that "In case I hate NY" opt-out clause for CC after 3 years/$69mil is apparently accurate

Mets home pinstripes with the blue cap. End of discussion, unless you want to point out that BOTH the aforementioned Yankee and Tigers uniforms, the logo on the cap is different than the one on the chest. In the Tigers' case, dramatically so! dgwphotography Dec 10 2008 04:28 PM ="metsguyinmichigan":1qa74opt] ="Gwreck":1qa74opt] ="Edgy DC":1qa74opt]While I agree, I have to say that, while the Yankees have the classickest looking uniform[/quote:1qa74opt] Detroit home whites?[/quote:1qa74opt] You're both kidding me, right?
